Bobby for Attorneys in Ottawa: Voice AI That Cuts Admin Time

Ottawa attorneys spend an average of 12-15 hours per week on non-billable administrative work—client intake calls, appointment scheduling, follow-up emails, review responses, and calendar coordination. For solo practitioners and small law firms in the capital region, that's nearly two full billable days lost every week. At $300-500 per billable hour, you're potentially leaving $75,000-100,000 annually on the table.

The problem isn't your practice management software. It's the gap between when a potential client calls and when they actually book a consultation. It's the 48-hour delay before you respond to a Google review. It's the three-email back-and-forth just to confirm a meeting time for a real estate closing or family law consultation.

What Bobby does concretely for Ottawa legal practices

Bobby OS is a voice-first operating system that handles the admin layer of your practice through natural conversation and automation:

• Client intake and qualification: "Hi, I'm calling about a family law matter"—Bobby asks qualifying questions, captures case details, checks conflict status against your parameters, and books the consultation directly into your calendar while the prospect is still on the line.
• Appointment coordination: "I need to reschedule my will signing"—Bobby accesses your calendar, proposes alternative times based on your availability rules (no court days, buffer time between estate planning appointments), confirms via voice or text, and updates your practice management system.
• Follow-up automation: After an initial consultation for a personal injury case, Bobby sends a structured follow-up sequence: retainer agreement reminder at day 2, document checklist at day 5, pre-trial prep at 30 days—all customized to your practice areas.
• Review management: When a satisfied real estate client leaves a Google review, Bobby drafts a personalized response referencing the specific transaction type. You approve or edit via voice note in under 30 seconds.
• Local SEO positioning: Bobby continuously updates your Google Business Profile with practice area posts, Q&A responses about Ottawa-specific legal procedures (like Ontario family law timelines or Ottawa small claims limits), keeping you visible when someone searches "family lawyer near me Ottawa" or "real estate attorney Kanata."

Radical honesty: what Bobby does NOT do

Bobby is not a replacement for your legal judgment or client relationships. It does not provide legal advice, draft court documents, or attend hearings. It will not magically generate referrals—it maximizes the conversion and retention of leads you already attract. Bobby does not integrate with every legacy practice management system on day one; core integration covers Clio, PracticePanther, and calendar/email systems, with custom API work available for others. This is operational infrastructure, not a marketing agency—you still need a foundational web presence and reputation.

How much does it cost?

Every Ottawa attorney gets a free working demo with real scenarios from your practice—family law intake, corporate client scheduling, whatever matches your caseload. You see exactly how Bobby handles your workflows before committing a dollar. Paid plans activate when you turn on three or more modules (intake + scheduling + follow-up, for example). Pricing scales with usage and practice size, typically $200-600/month for solo and small firm configurations—a fraction of a part-time legal assistant's cost, working 24/7 with zero sick days.

If you bill $400/hour and Bobby reclaims even 5 hours per week, that's $8,000 monthly in recovered billable time. The ROI calculus is straightforward.
